The poor old lady collecting money for the entry ticket is located at the top of a windy the staircase towards the foot of the castle yet many guests don't realize that they must pay cash and that she is unable to make change, disappointed after making this large assent. Therefore she should be able to accept credit cards on a mobile device which has become standard for the last 20 years of the century, and also proof that the money won't be pocketed but reported to the government. also a bit pricey at €3.50 for this 10 minute attraction, yet unique juxtaposition for this area

Incredible castle totally worth the visit. Offers a great panoramic view. Tickets for adults are 3.5€ and 4.5€ for the castle and the museum combined.

An ideal way to get out of the city centre for a while and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and the coast. There is also a museum exhibition in the castle. This castle is a half-hour bus ride from the centre of Catania. The buses in Catania are the biggest problem because they don't run on time and certainly not according to the schedule on Google maps.

Aci Castello is one of the numerous historical landmarks of Sicily, and while I feel that any historical place should get 5 star rating as it reflects what has already passed and thus can't be changed, decorate or improved, I still assigned 4 starts only. The reason is that the Castle of Aci is relatively small and is not impressive in terms of beauty or grandeur. Its majesty lies in centuries long history, however what your eyes see is mid-size castle with small museum inside. Although what is stunning here is the ocean view on one side and the village on the cliff on the other side, so you won't leave the place without nice shots for sure.

Awesome Castle on black lava rock cliff above the ionian sea. From here was possible see enemy from sea and from land. Today is one place don't forget to see. From the top the view is fantastic. Second my preferences it will be awesome during the storm days when the big waves hit the rock and the little drops of water nebulizer on the air making the atmosphere under the light more mystical

Bit of a dead town, but nice landmark. Great views of the Sea Side

Fantastic place for a dive into the history of the city of Catania. The museum inside is pretty small, but the castle and the view are simply astounding. Highly recommended.

It is a unesco heritage, definitly worth to visit. Have good view oo top. The beach There ist also beautiful.

A bit of a gem. There is a small entrance fee but it is well worth the money. Views are spectacular and there are a lot of plants and historical artefacts to enjoy. Highly recommended

Great historical place steeped in events and dramatic incidents. You have to pay to walk round (3,50Euro for an adult) but for the price its a great couple of hours. Spectacular views from the top in all directions - over Aci Castello, out to sea and long the Cyclops coast towards Aci Trezza

Amazing Castle with great views. Historical artifacts are also displayed and good info about the history is given. Worth the admission price.

Impressive sight at sea front. You can see inside but you gotta climb a flight of stairs.

The Castle has a very nice view of the sea and the city. Tickets - being already inexpensive, can be bought for even less for students and elderly visitors. There is a small museum inside featuring a mockup of the castle along with different types of rare and local rocks. I would definitely recommend visiting the place if you're in the area!

Was really nice during sunset. There is space for improvement, but overall, it is a nice experience in an atmospheric fort. Nice views.

Incredible Castle, Totally worth to visit. Amazing view, not overcrowded at all. Great place to visit with a family. Would recommend to visit at sunset. 😁

Beautiful place, unfortunately close to go inside today. But from outside it's looks awesome with beautiful views to Sea 😍

Amazing, medieval castle. Very athmospheric place with great view. Absolutly wonderful, friendly and joyfull man who works there. Greeting from Poland

Beautiful place and view, nice cashier

Amazing place, it has left me speechless. It’s quite weird that not many tourists know about it. The castle is absolutely stunning. The public bus connection between Aci Castello and Catania requires quite a lot of patience (my bus was 50min late), but it’s definitely worth it. A place one of its kind.

Beautiful, well preserved small castle/fort build on a volcanic rock. It's a great example of how people have used existing materials to construct solid and long lasting constructions. Loved to see the water getaways and the chambers. If you have an hour to spare, that's a lovely stop that will enrich your experience and connect you to history. You can also have an espresso or an aperativo at cafe on the piazza just in front of it - you'll enjoy an excellent sea view :).

Beautiful! Didn't go inside the castle though.

Serene little castle and a museum with a surprising variety of artifacts. Friendly and informative staff.

Visit Aci Castello is something you should definitely do. Amazing view from the outside and even better from the inside. The staff there is very fresh and kind.

What a place! If you speak Italian I surely recommend to do a guided tour as the gentleman showing us around and telling the story of the castle was just hilarious. Beautiful viewpoint, well taken care of place. Definitely worth a visit.

Handsomely. Can be visited as a historical site.

Old Norman castle with fascinating history. Not much to see inside but great views.

Beautiful and easily accessible, what else to wish for.

As a museum is a bit small, but the views from within the castle and on top of the towers is just unbelievably beautiful. It is possible to see the whole coast, including Acitrezza. Highly recommended stop.

Fantastic spontaneous visit led by local poet and storyteller Davide. Thank you for those magic moments in one of the nicest places in the world!

We had a lovely visit here. Be aware that you need cash (euro) to get in. The people at the gate were very friendly and understanding when we realized we didn't have any and that we needed to go take some out at a local bank, but they were all broken, closed, or out of cash! This castle has lovely views, a small garden, an interesting collection of (rather random) artifacts, and lotos of passageways to explore. We were not there for that long though - only an hour or two. We had a great time here and the piazza just outside was a great place to get an afternoon snack afterwards.

Good place to walk around but seasonal place

Nice scenery. Good place to relax and enjoy the breeze.

Best place in Sicilly

A great piece of history! This is the site of a 1000 year old Norman castle, built upon 300 year old Byzantine ruins. Great views and artifacts. Well worth the walk from Sheraton 4 Points.

Beautiful part of the world ! Worth a visit in my opinion
